what you can do is clone the repo from gitorious (http://gitorious.org/joomleague/joomleague, clone link on the right panel), then do your stuff. Once you are finish with testing, you can delete your test clone repository, or merge it you did something meaningfull.

I'm trying to understand something in the end:90% of devs have switched to gitKurt, who is working on massive reworks of important functions still works on svnShould I merge the two repositories? Should I wait for things to cool down?Which one is the correct version to refer to? svn or git?

I explained why i think it's better, but of course, it's something new to learn...

With help of Timoline and Kevin I also tried it and also commited and merged using the way to make a clone for myself before.Must say that it's a little bit complicated rathr than svn if you are not used to but I think it is a question of practice.

But I think we need some kind of rules that commited code on clones have to be checked before merge to master. So this would mean we need a clone checker or merge request checker. It has to be someone who is really good freind with the JL source and has nothing else to do than to check the merge-rquests. As long as that is not 100% guareneed we could also stay on svn as it makes no change But ask Timoline for more cause I will be absent till Friday

Btw... Even though I see the positive parts of git I WILL try to commit at least my own changes on the JL-code to svn and git both. As long as I am not really familar with git I don't want to loose my changes on the code!!!

I also sent my changes to git which I've sent to svn

I hope that I din't forgot something

But I think we can make a general merge after we decided which one to use in the future

it seems to me that the gitorious project seems to be working well ! Should i point joomlacode to it rather than the svn repo ? there is an option for git...

If you have time, i advised you to read a bit about interactive rebasing, so that you can group fragmented commits that go together into the same commit before merging to the main branch.To keep this clean, you have to create branch per 'feature/bug fix/etc...' inside your clone, so that once it has been merged into main repo, you can delete the branch.

During the last week I've installed Git bash/GUI on 2 different PCs and have followed a few tutorials on the web. Without success, I'd say. Which means I've not been able to work on the italian localization finalization I'd like to start (sorry, I'm not a dev, and neither tech savvy enough it seems). Perhaps any of you could replicate Kurt's tutorial on this thread?http://www.joomleague.de/forum/index.ph ... 698.0.htmlIt would be very kind and useful...

mindh4nt3r is working on this and we will get that the next days so even dummies like me are able to use git (which really seems to be better than svn)
